[QUOTE="cidsamuth, post: 16335529, member: 110091"] Not sure how you can make that statement. Much of a vehicle manufacturer's expense is wrapped into development. The question is how long they have to sell the model before they recoup said costs. So, they don't "lose" money unless it is actually priced below cost to put all the parts together and make the car right now. Or, if the life of the model is cut short before the development costs can be recouped. If the cost is low this year in order to suck in the buyers, that is a business decision to stretch the time necessary to get the development money back. [/QUOTE]
